WNAC NewsRoom 7 Promo (1977)

A promo for WNAC-TV's NewsRoom 7, from 1977. Channel 7 made use of a regional bureau reporting system for its key evening newscasts, featuring the talents of Paul Reece, Tanya Kaye and chief correspondent Mike Leavitt - just a few of many station alumni who came and went with the wind.

As evidenced by the promo, the popular NewsRoom 7 lead-in, Candlepins for Cash, had moved up a half-hour earlier by this time, given that the news now began at 5:30.

This is not an opening, but a promo.

WNAC is now FOX-64 Providence

[VaultMasterDBT]

The WNAC call letters are now used on Providence's 64. The Fox affiliate is in no way related to Boston's Channel 7.

Man, that's a very inaccurate map. Unless the Boston region means greater Boston.
